The game Chickens Can't Fly, in my opinion, can be considered a new classic on Windows Phone. Chickens Can't Fly goes back to 2012 and started as an Xbox LIVE game, though like some other titles, it left the restrictive system to go 'indie'. The game later went to iOS and Android. We are happy to announce Chickens Can't Fly is now 100% free, but only for a short time. Here are the...
Last month, Microsoft pulled 11 Xbox games from the Windows Phone Store, 10 of which had used Microsoft Points as the payment method for their In-App Purchases. At the time, we speculated that only a few games would return at all, and mostly stripped of their Xbox features. Today the first of those delisted games has returned: Chickens Can’t Fly. Unfortunately, it has indeed returned as...
When Windows Phone 8 launched in November of last year, it soon become clear that certain Xbox Windows Phone 7 games were incompatible with the new OS.

The 2012 Must Have Games consisted mostly of established console franchises – titles that are guaranteed to sell based on name alone. Yet for many gamers, the true standout title in the lineup was the sequel to a little-known indie game for Windows Phone. I speak, of course, about Chickens Can’t Fly, the follow-up to Chickens Can Dream – both from British developer AmusedSloth. In case...
We mentioned it briefly but the new Windows Phone Xbox Live game Chickens Can't Fly now has its own Windows 7 theme. It joins other gaming title themes such as Fruit Ninja, Angry Birds and the Xbox Kinect game Gunstringer. The Chickens Can't Fly theme includes wallpapers, sounds, and colors (no screen saver). The graphics look great and the sounds unique. But I have to admit it takes...
